So that, growing up, the kid liked to read books, it is necessary to explain to him: the main thing is the content, not the colorful design. Now the toddler perceives books, focusing only on the covers. Gradually, he will develop interest. This will happen after acquaintance with fairy tales that parents have read aloud.
Now the child's taste is just beginning to form, and the primary task is not to discourage interest. The simpler the story, the better. Long stories, even dynamic and exciting, will not be interesting to the kid. He will simply lose the plot thread and be bored. For a start, it is better to choose simple stories with a minimum of characters, for example "Turnip", "Teremok". Also interesting to read can be the works of Vladimir Suteev, for example "Who said" Meow "," Rooster and paints ". Next are poems by Agnia Barto. This is explained in an elementary way: small quatrains, the only hero, a short story. This is what the listener needs. About Tanya, who dropped the ball, or about a bear that was dropped, his paw was torn off, but still not thrown, the kid will listen with great pleasure. It is also worth remembering the works of Samuil Marshak.
But, even an interesting fairy tale will not impress the kid if it is boring to read it. With this approach, the book becomes uninteresting and boring. But when each character speaks in his own way, conveys his emotions brightly and colorfully, then it captivates for a long time! After all, it immediately becomes clear that mother Goat is very worried about her kids. And how great and joyful it became for everyone when they finally managed to pull out the stubborn turnip.
At this stage of development, it is clear, emotional reading that is the best way to explain to the little one what is good and what is bad to do. Who was right and who understood their mistakes. Let each story become a real journey of a child into the magical world of fairy tales!
But often a situation arises when, after a couple of minutes, the kid loses interest in history and begins to play with toys, cars or rustle something. Do not get upset and scold the baby, at this age all children have scattered attention and it is impossible for them to sit in one place. But dealing with this problem is also quite easy! Maria Montessori offers us an interesting technique. It turns out that in order to somehow neutralize the increased physical activity, it is necessary to offer the baby simple mechanical work. It can be coloring a picture or modeling from plasticine, it is important that with such an activity, the baby continues to listen to the story with the same interest. You can also try after reading a few paragraphs, discuss what you read with your child, carefully consider the illustrations, answer questions about what you read. What would he do if he were a mouse? Then you should continue reading. So the kid will never get bored of listening to fairy tales, because this is such an exciting game.
